1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: And you know what, I'm so excited this week because

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: this man, well he's produced gold for Australia at the Olympics.

3
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: He was our first gold as well that year. And

4
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what, I love him, love him to death.

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 1: He's an upt this ambassador. He joins us right now,

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: good morning.

7
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: You know you know what makes me wonder there's so

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,120
Speaker 2: many names and people of profile like yourself who are

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 2: listening to the show thinking when can I be part

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: of wrap Up of the Week. So we're so glad

11
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: that you contacted the show wanting to do it.

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,640
Speaker 3: Mate, I'm going to assure you that is not what the.

13
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,159
Speaker 1: No. No, we did have to twist his arm, whipper

14
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: and idea. There was this big discussion with Optus. Yep,

15
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 1: they're turning thirty this year, so it's a big birthday

16
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: for opt Us as well, and we've done with some

17
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: stuff with Optus over the years. Mack was there, Chas

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Mostatt was there as well. I think Daniel Ricardo is

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 1: an ambassador as well. And I think through Optus, Matt,

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: we have tackled you to the ground, told you down

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: and got you to do wrap Up of the Week.

22
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 4: An absolute stitch up what more could I get them

23
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,759
Speaker 4: for their thirtieth birthday than embarrassing myself?

24
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 2: You will never forget it.

25
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 4: Chas Chads got off lightly. He only had to dye

26
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 4: his hair apparently like a light turquoise color or something.

27
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: You would have preferred to dye your haird turquoise then

28
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 2: wrap on this show?

29
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 4: Yes, I think so.

30
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: Would you say it's scarier than any of the races

31
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 3: you've done?

32
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 4: Yes, and required more effort than anything I've ever done

33
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 4: in my lard as well.

34
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 2: Thank god we've got someone committed. And what about I mean,

35
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 2: three weeks ago was a big moment for you mate

36
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 2: with beautiful Ella. Why don't you tell everyone what happened?

37
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: Yah, we got engaged.

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: Oh can you tell us how you did it? Was

39
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: it quite romantic? Mac?

40
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: Yeah?

41
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: I think so. We're in the ocean. I had the

42
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: ring tied to my wrist, which was probably a little

43
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: bit risky. Yeah, and we were getting thrown around by

44
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 4: some waves. I think she was actually under a wave

45
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 4: when I popped the question to ask it again. Okay,

46
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: so it was like romantic in a messy kind of way, as.

47
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: It should be. How long have you been with Ella?

48
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 4: Seven and a half years.

49
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: Oh my god, this is great news.

50
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 1: MANE the partner of a swimmer, it must be tough

51
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: because you are and you're a long distance swimmer as well, Mac,

52
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: So the amount of hours that you're doing a week,

53
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: I mean, how often do you get to.

54
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: See each other?

55
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 4: Mac? Yeah, it sucks for Ella well. And she's a

56
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 4: nurse as well, so she's got twelve hour shifts a

57
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 4: couple of times a week, so we don't see each

58
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 4: other March and it's a lot of early mornings and

59
00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 4: lateish nights. So yeah, she does very well to put

60
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: up with me.

61
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 1: Can you take us back to twenty sixteen, Mac, because

62
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: that I mean, it was such a good year at

63
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: the Rio Olympics and you kicked us off with our

64
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 1: first gold. You and you came out of nowhere? Mac?

65
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: Was it was it when you talk about I talked

66
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: to sportsmen about getting into zones and you know in

67
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: moments in their careers where they just hit the sweet spot.

68
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: Was that it for you? Like, was that just one

69
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: of the biggest peaks in your career?

70
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, definitely one of the biggest peaks. I think it's

71
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 4: funny when people say you come out of nowhere, because

72
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: I mean, you come out of nowhere in the public eye,

73
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: but before that, there's ten years of hard working your

74
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 4: building towards that moment. So it appears like you've come

75
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 4: out of nowhere, but in reality there's you know, a

76
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 4: lot that goes into it and a lot behind it,

77
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 4: and you know, during that build up there's always I

78
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: guess you have to have that belief that you know

79
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 4: you can do it and that you're you know, you're

80
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 4: not coming out of nowhere.

81
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: Where's where do you keep the meddle? Mate? Tell us

82
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: that much I.

Speaker 4: Can't tell you a secret, knew.

84
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: This would happen.

85
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: Well, you know what We're going to put you under

86
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: the pump now because it is wrap up of the

00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: way time, mate.

88
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 4: It fits in.

Speaker 1: to go first?

00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 5: You go first? Here you go, physic could have been

Speaker 3: as bland, as mourning poge. It tastes like port and

100
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 3: no longer crumb sausage. We've had tried sport through in

101
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 3: the town. When you play footy, they call the super bow.

102
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,760

103
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 3: out everyone, it's an incredible bulk. Launching pastor into space

104
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 3: was your goal. I refer to Whipper's mouth as a

105
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 3: black hole, and that huge hole is quite famous. But

106
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: are you speaking from your mouth or your anus? Fitz's

121
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 1: Well gets who's back. It's return of the mat. This

122
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: is going to hurt more than a back second grade.

123
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: This will be murder. Someone called the cops because you're

124
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: gonna go down than a swimmer on steal. Not so

Speaker 4: You've got the hold.

127
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,440
Speaker 1: You can't sitch up a hero with gold. I'm a

Speaker 1: as an Australian that was on brand, he was staring

131
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: at you for recognition, but you didn't give us stuff

132
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: like Whipper's diet tissues.

133
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 2: I would want to be ann distant swimmer.

134
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: That's more annoying than David swimmer. That's more annoying than

135
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: an ill fitting suit or getting a friend request from

136
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:33,920
